SYNOPSIS
========
**notmuch** **address** [*option* ...] <*search-term*> ...
DESCRIPTION
===========
Search for messages matching the given search terms, and display the
addresses from them. Duplicate addresses are filtered out.
See **notmuch-search-terms(7)** for details of the supported syntax for
<search-terms>.
Supported options for **address** include
``--format=``\ (**json**\ \|\ **sexp**\ \|\ **text**\ \|\ **text0**)
Presents the results in either JSON, S-Expressions, newline
character separated plain-text (default), or null character
separated plain-text (compatible with **xargs(1)** -0 option
where available).
``--format-version=N``
Use the specified structured output format version. This is
intended for programs that invoke **notmuch(1)** internally. If
omitted, the latest supported version will be used.
``--output=(sender|recipients|count)``
Controls which information appears in the output. This option
can be given multiple times to combine different outputs.
When neither --output=sender nor --output=recipients is
given, --output=sender is implied.
**sender**
Output all addresses from the *From* header.
Note: Searching for **sender** should be much faster than
searching for **recipients**, because sender addresses are
cached directly in the database whereas other addresses
need to be fetched from message files.
**recipients**
Output all addresses from the *To*, *Cc* and *Bcc*
headers.
**count**
Print the count of how many times was the address
encountered during search.
Note: With this option, addresses are printed only after
the whole search is finished. This may take long time.
``--deduplicate=(no|mailbox|address)``
Control the deduplication of results.
**no**
Output all occurrences of addresses in the matching
messages. This is not applicable with --output=count.
**mailbox**
Deduplicate addresses based on the full, case sensitive
name and email address, or mailbox. This is effectively
the same as piping the --deduplicate=no output to **sort |
uniq**, except for the order of results. This is the
default.
**address**
Deduplicate addresses based on the case insensitive
address part of the mailbox. Of all the variants (with
different name or case), print the one occurring most
frequently among the matching messages. If --output=count
is specified, include all variants in the count.
``--sort=``\ (**newest-first**\ \|\ **oldest-first**)
This option can be used to present results in either
chronological order (**oldest-first**) or reverse chronological
order (**newest-first**).
By default, results will be displayed in reverse chronological
order, (that is, the newest results will be displayed first).
However, if either --output=count or --deduplicate=address is
specified, this option is ignored and the order of the results
is unspecified.
``--exclude=(true|false)``
A message is called "excluded" if it matches at least one tag in
search.tag\_exclude that does not appear explicitly in the
search terms. This option specifies whether to omit excluded
messages in the search process.
The default value, **true**, prevents excluded messages from
matching the search terms.
**false** allows excluded messages to match search terms and
appear in displayed results.
EXIT STATUS
===========
This command supports the following special exit status codes
``20``
The requested format version is too old.
``21``
The requested format version is too new.
